Date change for Relay for Life

Relay For Life date has been moved from July 10^th and 11^th to Saturday, July 31^st and Sunday, August 1^st

If you haven’t heard yet, North Allegheny is hosting its first Relay For Life on behalf of the American Cancer Society on Saturday, July 10th at 12:00pm through Sunday, July 11th at 8:00am at Newman Stadium. We are hoping that North Allegheny’s 1st Relay For Life will be very successful, but we need your help to make that happen. There are a number of ways to become involved with this worthwhile event. We have attached a brochure and ways to become involved for your convenience. We have a number of teams/groups that have already signed up, but we need more! We hope we can count on your support – if not physically, then perhaps financially.

We will be hosting an informational meeting on Monday, June 7th in the Health South Room at the Baierl Center at 6:30pm. Dawn Pruett of the American Cancer Society will be there to discuss the entire event and answer any questions you might have and will also be available to sign up individuals and/or teams. We have a number of athletic teams (7th – 12th grade) that will be participating as a way to gain team support before the 2010 – 2011 season. This would be a great way to enhance the camaraderie of your school staff, department staff, neighborhood, company, friends and relatives.

In addition, on Saturday, June 19th, the American Cancer Society will have an Open House for the purpose of signing up teams for our July Relay For Life. That sign-up will be located in the Ponce Room at the Baierl Center from 9:00am to 12:00pm. You can also sign up a team by contacting the North Allegheny Athletic Department at 724-934-7238 or by going on-line at www.relayforlife.org/panorthallegheny. Even if you not able to participate in this event, please visit this website and make a donation that will be tallied into the overall success of our 1st Relay for Life. If you would like to contact Dawn Pruett directly, you can reach her at dawn.pruett@cancer.org or at 412-919-1055.

Your participation in making North Allegheny’s Relay for Life a success is greatly appreciated!!

McKnight's First Annual Trunk Sale FAQs

• What is a Trunk Sale?
• Seller gathers items to sell, such as yard sale items. Packs them up in the car and sets up in a parking spot to sell those items.
• Do I sell out of my car/trunk?
• You can set up a table in your space, or use the trunk of your car. You have access to the parking space you rented and can set up as you wish.
• Can I sell anything?
• Yes and NO - Please remember this IS an elementary school fundraiser. The committee does have the right to request items to be removed from the location. Please be respectful of this and keep the KIDS in mind.
• Do I get to keep the profits?
• All those that have 'rented' space will keep their profits. The Fee to participate is kept by the McKnight PFA.
• What if it rains?
• Checks will be cashed once we confirm the event is to be held. Therefore if it rains you will get your check back.
• What if I am not from McKnight Elementary and want my check back in case of rain?
• You can send a self-addressed stamped envelope to the school and we will return the check to you. Otherwise your check will just be voided and kept in the PFA files.
• How are spaces assigned?
• As you come that day we will direct you to your spot.
• Where will this be advertised?
• We are planning on advertising in the Pennysaver, Greensheet, and various posters. More details when the advertising is confirmed will be posted.
• Who do I contact with particular questions not answered here?

North Allegheny Kennywood Day

The Unified Boosters Organization (UBO) will be selling Kennywood tickets in the schools for North Allegheny’s Community Day on Thursday, May 20. Tickets will be available for sale from 9:15 - 10:15 am at McKnight. Something new this year: for every (200) tickets sold at each school on May 20, the UBO will award $50 to a student enrolled in that school who bought a ticket on 5/20.

In addition, for each Kennywood ticket sold, the UBO will donate twenty-five cents ($.25) to the Ian Overmeier Scholarship Fund. Heidi Overmeier was tragically killed in the LA Fitness Center incident in Bridgeville, PA. She was the UBO’s contact for Kennywood Day for many years and was instrumental in the success our Community Day.

Thank You for your support!
